Maternal Newborn Stillbirth (MNS) Programmatic Transition Framework: an integrated approach for priority-setting to accelerate reducing preventable mortality

At IMNHC 2023, the integrated maternal, newborn, and stillbirth (MNS) mortality transition framework was introduced as a useful approach for describing factors associated with mortality reduction. In the years since, this framework has become the foundation of key strategic planning tools used to identify priorities and inform decision-making. In this Maternal, Newborn Stillbirth Programmatic Transition Framework satellite session, WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF, GFF and Gates Ventures will demonstrate tools and resources to operationalize this novel programmatic framework, highlighting selected country use-cases and facilitating hands-on participant interaction with practical tools. This session will showcase the utility of the MNS programmatic transition framework for identifying strategic MNH priorities to accelerate progress for women and newborns, even in the current global financing landscape.
